The Sorcery of Color: Identity, Race, and Gender in Brazil

Originally published in 2003 in Portuguese, "The Sorcery of Color" argues that there are longstanding and deeply-rooted relationships between racial and gender inequalities in Brazil. In this pioneering book, Elisa Larkin Nascimento examines the social and cultural movements that have attempted, since the early twentieth century, to challenge and eradicate these conjoined inequalities.
